Put Rosy’s Taco Bar on Your Happy Hour Hit List
(03/25/19 1:00pm)

Meet the Fearless Flyers Behind Penn Women’s Gymnastics
(03/20/19 2:31am)
From flying through the air, flipping, and doing back handsprings, gymnastics requires spectacular balance, strength, and grace. For Caroline Moore (C’19) and Valerie Rube (C’19), tumbling is only half the work. As senior gymnastics co–captains, Valerie and Caroline act as liaisons between the coaches and the team of 22 gymnasts. They lead team workouts, communicate with Penn Athletics, and manage team morale. For Caroline, being a captain means being “that force behind the team that really drives them forward.” She and Valerie work together to keep spirits high in and out of the gym. The women’s gymnastics team competes every weekend from mid–January to the end of March, with a total of 14 meets throughout the season. Over spring break, the team competed in two meets in Missouri and scored a personal best in Maryland, placing second overall.
